OUR HOMETOWN HERO
Commander Carl E. Megonigle, US NAVY
Today, we honor all veterans who have faithfully and sacrificially served our country. We are free because of your heroism and we salute you.
We want to highlight a special member of our Transcend family, Commander Carl E. Megonigle, US NAVY. Carl served as a rescue helicopter pilot for 26 years, which included the Vietnam war. Carl told us recently that in his entire Navy career, no one was lost or killed on his watch. Commander Megonigle also shared with us that he rescued hundreds of individuals over the years from destitute crisis points.
Today, one of his helicopters hangs in a Pensacola museum. Outside of combat, Carl was mostly stationed along the Mediterranean Sea, and rescued people all over that part of the world. When you see him, feel free to ask about his experiences. He is generous to share his stories however, be warned, you may need tissues. Carl is the epitome of a modern day hero. He has been there, done that, and seen it all.
Carl is presently 85 years old and is one of our most devout members here at TFC. When you see him this week, shake his hand, or give him a good old fist pump. Carl, we are so grateful for your service and it truly is a privilege to know you. You bring joy, fun, stature- and a little. mischief wherever you go and we are so thankful for you.
Hero status!

Finding Your Why
Why do you work out?
“I want to lose 10 pounds for my wedding”
“I want to have a six pack for vacation”
“I will be eating a ton of food this weekend when I travel”
Yes, those are reasons for working out. But, we encourage you to find a bigger “why”- short term goals are great motivators, but often once we’ve accomplished that goal we fall out of our habits again.
So, what is truly your why underneath it all? There should be a specific, meaningful motivation behind your workouts. Maybe you want to have better energy to keep up with your kids, maybe you want to be strong enough to lift up and play with your grandkids.
If you’re not sure where to start, try answering these questions below to start you on your path:
- How do you want to feel?
- Who are you doing this for?
- What makes you feel proud or accomplished?
Define your why and then write it down somewhere you can see it. Maybe it’s on a post-it note in your bathroom. Maybe it’s in your Reminders App on your phone. Maybe it’s in a daily journal.
Then, write out your schedule on a Sunday and find a few days for a 30-45 minute workout. This way you plan for your workout days all week instead of feeling rushed to try to fit it in at the last minute.
What ever your “why” is, we support you and can’t wait to see you at Transcend!

We’re excited to feature Transcend Fitness Club Member, Jackie Luber, for our Member Spotlight this month. Jackie is an incredibly dedicated member of TFC and a pleasure to everyone she’s around at the gym. Thank you, Jackie, for being such a great member of our community!
How long have you been a member at Transcend Fitness?
I have been a member at Transcend for about a year.
What is a typical day like for you outside of the gym?
A typical day is getting my children up and ready for school, packing lunches, cleaning, laundry, computer work, and then picking the kids up and taking them to activities.
What do you enjoy most about Transcend?
I love working out with my trainer, Michelle. She customizes my workouts to help me reach my goals. She always encourages me and pushes me to work hard.
What is something not many people know about you?
Not many people know that I taught a pilates based workout called the Lithe Method in Philadelphia when I was in my 20s.
Do you have any tips for anyone just starting out with a work out routine?
Pick an attainable goal, start off slowly, and build up each day. The sense of satisfaction when you accomplish your goal will be worth all of the hard work.
